Here's the first teaser trailer for my upcoming game, Dirk Dashing 2: E.V.I.L. Eye!


Up until now, I've only shown still screenshots, so this is your first look at the game in-action! Even though it's short (it's a teaser), you can see the new graphics and lighting effects, Dirk's new tranquilizer dart gun, some of Dirk's new moves, and some of the new characters - including the Ninja I just finished!

*Update* My Games Company July Newsletter:-

QuoteDear customers and fans,

Ok. You talked me into it. I'm going to make Dirk Dashing 2 available for pre-order later this summer!



I want to thank everyone who wrote me to voice their support. Your e-mails were very encouraging, and that's extremely important to me - especially when I'm working on a big game project that takes a long time to finish. It's easy for me to get discouraged over time, wondering if anyone will even buy the game when it's finally done. So I appreciate your support and enthusiasm!



I haven't finalized the details yet, but here's what I can tell you. The pre-order will probably be at the full price of $19.99. I'm not going to mark it down as a way to entice people to pre-order; however, I will give you a free copy of the strategy guide when the game is done, containing level maps, hints, tricks, concept art, etc. Everyone who chooses to pre-order will be allowed access to a beta version of the game. The game isn't done yet, of course, but you'll get to play all of the completed levels. As I finish each stage, I'll issue an updated beta with the new levels, new features, bug fixes, etc. So in many respects, it will be like playing an episodic game - with each new update, more of the story will unfold. And, of course, since the game isn't finished yet, you'll also have the opportunity to give feedback, make suggestions, etc, and possibly influence the remaining development of the game.



Before I can make the game available for pre-order, there are some things that have to happen:

First, I need the game audio. Jesse should provide me with the draft copy of the music in the next few days, and hopefully the sound effects I need won't be too far behind. After that, there may be a few revisions once I get it in the game and we see how well it all works together.
* Second, there are some bugs that need fixing and some partially finished features that need, well, finishing.
Third, my testers have already identified some issues with the game balance in the early levels. I need to go back and make some tweaks, adding more ammo here and there, an extra health kit or two in some places, and so on.


If all goes well, the game may be available for pre-order as early as August. (Yikes, that's next month!)
